The Old Man's Complaint: By Mr. Wells.

AH, pity Love where e'r it grows! See how in me it overflows, In dripping Eyes and dropping Nose.
So strange a thing is seldom seen; My Age is dull, my Love is keen; Above I'm grey, but elswhere green.
Aloof, perhaps I court and prate; But something near I would be at, Tho' I'm so old I scarce know what.
